Transforming buildings into carbon sinks.

As the leading partner for sustainable construction, Holcim is pioneering innovation in our sector to bring game-changing solutions tailored to our customers’ most ambitious needs. That’s why we partnered with Pritzker Prize-winning architect Alejandro Aravena and his firm ELEMENTAL to present a new biochar technology that transforms buildings into carbon sinks.

Holcim and ELEMENTAL are using this carbon sink technology for the first time in a full-scale Basic Services Unit housing prototype, presented in Venice during the 2025 Architecture Biennale. Built using our specially-created net zero* biochar concrete, the prototype also incorporates circularity, with 100% recycled aggregates inside.

*scope of concrete production phases (A1-A3) in Life Cycle Assessment. Assumes average transportation distance of 300km for cement and filler & 100km for aggregates.
